Jeff Poppen’s enthusiasm for local food production and distribution stems from his 40 years of farming.  His self-sufficient, small certified biodynamic 300 acre Long Hungry Creek Farm in Red Boiling Springs – with five acres of vegetables for market, experimental orchards, extensive herb and flower beds, grains, hay, cattle, and a fruit tree nursery – is the largest and oldest organic farm in Tennessee.  Jeff is also a noted author and presenter on organic and biodynamic farming.

Jeff’s workshop will focus on building a dynamic biologically active soil encompassing topics ranging from minerals, soil biology and tilth, and the use of biodynamic preparations.
